the stars lean down to kiss you

Pestilence' heart felt like it was going to stop beating then and there. Brother? Volcano? Dead? The small pup's legs began to shake and she slumped down further into her mother's hold. Her lavender eyes fixed themselves upon the horizon, staring blankly out towards the volcano that had taken her dad's life. The truth of it was plastered upon her mom's features and in her breaking voice. She wasn't lying - mom never lied.

Dad was dead. Gone forever. Her eyes trailed to the sigil her mother had drawn and remained upon it, staring deep into the markings that symbolized her mother and father's unity. She felt detached, the sorrow was there but she couldn't entirely feel it. Pesto wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come, she felt like she was floating high above them all. Dad was dead. No more sermons, no more lessons on ceremonial herbs, no more riding on his towering back. The small pup stayed small and quiet and a little bit broken laying in her mom's arms, knowing nothing could possibly soothe her in that moment.
